At the regular city election in De cember the question of extending the city limits a quarter of a mile in each direction was voted upon, and the re sult was in favor of extension by a de cisive majority. With a view to ascer taining the population in the suburban territory proposed to be annexed the City Council at a recent meeting di rected Chief Shackleford to take a cen sus, and this was completed a few days ago. According to his count there are 745 people living within the quarter-mile radius referred to — 87 white and 658 colored. In the same territory there are 214 children of school age—25 white and 189 colored. The proposed extension would give Newnan a total population of about 5,500. A small but enthusiastic crowd wit nessed one of the most exciting base ball games of recent times last Thurs day afternoon in this city.

They were a manly bunch, played hard and clean, and took defeat like true sports. There is no stain in de feat for such a team as Newnan’s, and any aggregation that can defeat them is entitled to a chrorno with a hand some frame. The game ended 3 to 0 in favor of the Griffin High School, but almost every inning required sensa tional fielding to preserve the score. Middle Georgia Farmer, 8th inst. Card of Thanks.
